Depression Terrain defines recessed environmental features, such as tactical trenches, impact craters, or shallow gullies, that occupy a fixed footprint within the Play Area. These features provide a distinct defensive advantage to Units without creating a physical obstruction to visibility across the table. Unlike Blocking Terrain or Area Terrain, Depression Terrain does not inherently obstruct Line Of Sight.
- Traces may be drawn across, into, or out of the terrain footprint without restriction. This permits Units to maintain clear fire lanes while utilizing the terrain's depth for protection. Line Of Sight resolution remains reciprocal for all Units interacting with the boundary.
- A Unit is eligible to receive the Cover status if all of its Bases are positioned 50% or more within the perimeter of the Depression Terrain piece.
